history

Mölln was founded by the Slavs . A silted island castle from the 7th to 13th centuries can still be seen on the northern edge of the village . The village was first mentioned in documents in 1316.
The village of Mölln is a former manor village, the basic structure of which can still be seen in the village complex. Only the former manor house has been preserved from the manor complex. The listed two-storey building will be used as a community center after it has been vacant and renovated. Today the village is shaped by the old substance of the estate's cat cell and the village church.

On January 1, 1951, the previously independent communities Groß Helle and Lüdersdorf were incorporated.

Groß Helle was first mentioned in a document in 1363. The estate was owned by the von Maltzan families (from 1501), from 1656 by Joachim Engel, from 1751 by Gotthard Karl Friedrich von Peccatel auf Wrodow, from 1785 again by Maltzan, from 1802 by Carl David Heinrich Lüders and from 1816 to 1945 by Fledged. Settlement took place after 1945. The two-storey manor house from the beginning of the 18th century was rebuilt in a classicist style in the 19th century . After 1945 it was a kindergarten, residential and cultural center; it was renovated as a residential and holiday home until 2013.

Klein Helle: The estate or individual farms belonged to the Muggesfeld families in the 14th century, von Maltzan , von Voss , von Woosten and von Parsow in the 15th century and von Voss in the 17th century, who then owned the entire village. This was followed by the von Schuckmann families (from 1759), von Zülow (from 1789), von Ferber (1812–1871) and the manufacturer Carl Schwanitz (from 1898), who expanded the manor house into a manor house and gave the place its uniform appearance. After 1945 the school was here and later a children's home until 2003. The landscape park with a small lake was created at the end of the 18th century and redesigned around 1900.

• Vrodov Castle
• Gutshaus (manor house) Klein Helle, a differentiated two-storey complex with a five-storey tower, existed in part since the middle of the 18th century and was considerably expanded and rebuilt around 1900.
• Two-storey, 15-axis manor house (manor house) Groß Helle from the 18th and 19th centuries; since 2013 holiday complex.
• Slavonic island castle : The facility is located at the entrance to Mölln, coming from Klein Helle on the right-hand side in the middle of the open field on Lake Mölln.

From afar you can see a kind of leveled castle plateau, which is up to three meters high. The typical ramparts of this Slavic castle are no longer clearly recognizable due to years of arable farming. The island castle was built in the 7th century and existed until the end of the Slavic period in the 13th century. Excavations by the archaeologist Volker Schmidt led to his assumption that this island castle consisted of a small outer and a large main castle. He also suspects that a prince of the Slavic tribe of the Tollensians might have lived here, based on the abundant finds on site. In the Slav period, the facility was located in a shallow lake that is now very silted up.
